- this given counting means 100 i When a given counting means 100 i (i ⁇ [0; n-1]) is actuated by the control means 110 at a given instant t i , this given counting means 100 i detects a state or a logical value of signal S 1 . Said said counting means 100 i is then capable, depending on the detected state of the signal S 1 , of modifying or not a given count variable x i with which it is associated and of which it produces the output value.
- the possible modification of the given count variable x i consists of an incrementation of the latter, an incrementation value Q 2 , may vary depending on the state of the signal S 2 detected.
- state of the signal S 2 is meant the state of each of the bits forming the signal S 2 .
- This variant can be achieved for example by means of a device comprising a number of entries equal to the number of bits of the signal S 1 .
- Each of the counting means is then capable of detecting the state of each bit of the signal S 1 .
- counting means operate according to a logic signed:
- a given counting means 100 i increments the given count variable x i to which the latter is associated, by a value equal to - (a 1 * 2 1 + a 0 * 2 0 ), when it detects a state or logical level equal to '0a 1 to 0 ' and a value equal to + (a 1 * 2 1 + a 0 * 2 0 ) when it detects a state or a logic level equal to '1a 1 to 0 ' of the signal S 2 .
- the sign of the incrementation value Q 2 can thus be a function of the state of the signal S 1 .
- the counting means of the device according to the invention are implemented so that whenever a means of given count performs a detection of a signal, said counting means increments or leaves unchanged a count variable to which it is associated with an increment value that can be fixed or variable depending on the state of said signal.
- the present invention is not limited to these examples of operation.
- the counting means may be provided to perform at each detection more complex operations or functions than simple incrementation or summation. This can allow to amplify the gap between different count variables and reduce the duration of the detection process.
- the means of counting of the device according to the invention can be provided for example so that every time a given counting means performs a detection of a signal, this one increases or leaves unchanged a count variable to which it is associated.
- the increase can be achieved for example by a multiplication of the variable by a number proportional or equal to the value of the state of the signal when detected, or by another function mathematical possibly depending on the state of the signal during detection.
- the invention can find an application particularly in the field of RFID systems or systems radio frequency identification.
- a device phase detection implemented according to the invention can be integrated for example into a device for RFID reading, allowing to acquire, by exchange of radiofrequency signals, data included in another device presented by example in the form of a label or a transponder.
- the transponder or the tag transmits another signal S 1 modulated in phase.
- This other signal S 1 is generally formed, according to a predetermined protocol, from a sub-carrier of frequency sub-multiple of the frequency of said carrier transmitted by the reading device.
- the other signal S 1 may be possibly tainted with noise (phase jump, spurious pulses).
- the reading device In order for the reading device to read the variations of the other signal S 1 emitted by the tag or the transponder, the reading device according to the invention is then capable of creating a signal S 0 of period Ts equal to the period of said sub-carrier from which is formed the signal S 1 emitted by the tag or the transponder.
- the signal S 0 can be formed for example from one or more piezoelectric based clocks as previously described or by frequency division of the carrier, using frequency divider means.
- the frequency of the subcarrier from which the other signal S 1 is formed is thus known to the reading device.
- the phase origin or the phase reference of the other signal S 1 remains to be determined, so that the latter can be demodulated.
- phase shift estimation may make it possible to generate a signal S ' 0 of period equal to the period Ts of the subcarrier and synchronized with S 1 in order to determine the phase modulations of S 1 carrying information.
- This method may possibly begin as soon as the reading device receives the signal S 1 .
